Given the delay for a diagnosis, it looks highly unlikely that the 35-goal striker will be fit for Spurs’ FA Cup quarter-final at Swansea on Saturday, while his involvement in next week’s international break also looks doubtful with England set to face Holland and Italy in friendlies.

With the World Cup just three months away, Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate will also be eager to find out how long Kane could be sidelined for.

Both Tottenham and England will be wary of Kane’s previous history of ankle injuries. He suffered ligament damage to the same joint twice last season.
